The Writer's Palette

AN*NO*TA*TION blog has a really interesting idea to keep yourself motivated and/or inspired when you're writing. She calls it a "writer's palette" and I think it's a great idea.

Shelfari

Shelfari makes it easy to see what your friends are reading, what others with similar tastes have enjoyed, and even get and give book recommendations.

And it's free.

It's a lot like Librarything.com's method which I use on this blog. I'm not sure which is better than the other, try both and see :)
